We invite everyone to participate in a May Day 2012
mobilization together.

May 1 is celebrated around the world as international
workers day and originated in Chicago after the 1886 Haymarket Massacre, in which police fired on
workers during a general strike for the eight-hour workday.

On May 1, 2006, in the largest single day protest in
the history of the United States, massive migrant marches re-ignited May Day as
a day of resistance, a near-lost tradition in the US. May Day is important this
year as a day of action for economic justice and equality.

Over the past year, we have been inspired by people’s
movements, resistance and actions around the globe. We have experienced an
awakening over the past year that has created a new political movement and a
focus on economic justice, and we believe that May Day 2012 is an opportunity
for us to cultivate a broad and potent coalition of communities, organizations,
and others seeking to build a different city and a different world. We believe
that it can be not only a moment to demonstrate our discontent, but to begin to
think together toward building self-determination for and from our communities.

Join us on May 1 (in Durham's People's Plaza) as we rally for:

Good jobs and living wages

The right to join a union,
the right to organize for all workers, and the right to collective bargaining

Justice for immigrants,
including amnesty and an end to deportations

An end to police brutality, mass incarceration of communities of color,
and all forms of oppression and discrimination

Public sector jobs and
services and public budgets that meet human needs
